My God, I almost threw up watching that on SportsCenter. I hope that wasn't as devastating as it looked.

Or could it?

Yeah, because you were shielded from seeing Butch's dislocation.
Livingston was ahead on a fast break layup and fell akwardly.
LOS ANGELES -- Clippers point guard Shaun Livingston dislocated his left knee and had to be wheeled off the court on a stretcher during Monday night's game against the Charlotte Bobcats.
The three-year veteran was driving to the basket on a fast break and went up from a layup. He missed the shot and came down hard on his left foot in a contorted manner and collapsed in obvious pain as the Staples Center crowd grew hushed.
Livingston, who was picked fourth overall by the Clippers in the 2004 draft out of high school, has been hampered by injuries and has yet to play a full season in the NBA. He missed 39 games during his rookie season because of a dislocated right knee, and another 12 that season because of torn cartilage in his right shoulder. Last season he sat out the first 21 games with a stress reaction in his lower back.
Livingston, who has been sharing the point guard duties with 37-year-old Sam Cashell, missed two games in January with a sprained right ankle. He entered the Charlotte game averaging 9.5 points and 5.2 ashists. Livingston had a career-high 14 ashists in Saturday's 103-90 victory over the Golden State Warriors.
